By default, WebSphere Commerce displays four merchandising
association types: cross-sell, up-sell, accessory and replacement.
You can create your own merchandising association types, based on
your business needs.
Procedure
- Connect to the database.
- Run the following command:
insert into massoctype (massoctype_id, description) values (' yourCustomMAType ', ' yourCustomMATypeDescription ')
Where:
- yourCustomMAType
- Is the merchandising association type
- yourCustomMATypeDescription
- Is the custom merchandising association type description.
For example, to insert a merchandising association
called down-sell, run the following command:
insert into massoctype (massoctype_id, description) values ('Down-sell', 'Suggest a similar lower-priced product.')
- The new merchandising association displays the next time
you load the Merchandising Association page in the WebSphere Commerce
Accelerator.
- Optional: Add
translations of the new custom merchandising association type.
